Pickles by Brian Crane for June 21, 2019

I hope Earl didn’t cut a slice and gave himself the remaining section (like he cut one-eighth and gave himself the other seven-eighths)

Peach pie? Normally I’d rag on Earl for this but peach pie is a different story. All bets are off when it comes to peach pie.

Just trying to help clean up that pie pan, and this is the thanks you get!

Earl just summed the politicians’ game plan – make sure the constituents will not appreciate the politician and their efforts to support their big money supporters, then the politician won’t be expected to do anything more to assist their constituents.

I’d say that when it comes to peach pie, Opal is lucky ANY is left.

Opal should have known better after all these years.

Opal, Earl was just testing the pie for flavor…….. it took more than one test……………

Earl conveniently didn’t hear Opal correctly…

Earl only took one piece … it was the whole pie!

That’s the danger of listening to random people!

Your fault, Opal…you should have NEVER given him a piece at all!

she didn’t say which piece

Anybody remember the tale about the elderly wife who poisoned a pie, then told her hubby NOT to eat it because it was for her club? The guy, of course, being a glutton and just downright ornery, at the whole thing anyway. . .Hitchcock? Twilight Zone?

A homemade peach pie would have been wasted on a Book Club. A box of Twinkies would do just as well.

Way back the Thanksgiving family party cooks knew I could eat a whole pumpkin pie with bonafide cream atop, so they made more. Now in my December years with type 2 diabetes, I should have eaten more.

Several girls in the club are in Weight Watchers so he thought he was doing them a favor.

I did that anyway. It is called a “work ethic”.

“The Lord helps those who help themselves.” He helped himself.

Never leave a man alone with a freshly baked peach pie (or any other kind for that matter) .
